A life of ups and downs is pure joy

Chapter 254 The beauty of the country

Hehuan Hall of the Dayan Imperial Palace.

While playing the new music score given to her by Gong Heyu, Zhuang Ge'er secretly glanced at Gong Kou Shi who was eating pastries and talking to Gong Heyu.

"If I had known she loved playing the guqin so much, I should have given her a few guqins to entertain me during those boring years of recuperation in the boudoir."

"You have worked hard these past few years."

Gong Heyu glanced at Zhuang Ge'er who was studying the music score and said to his sister.

"Brother, why are you telling me this? The most important thing right now is if you can solve my puzzlement."

"What's the matter?"

Gong Heyu asked.

Gong Kou Shi then told the story of the series of secret guards being killed in recent days and the incidents of arrows that could pierce the heart without arrowheads.

"What is he here for?"

When Gong Heyu heard this, he knew who it was and said curiously.

"Who is this lunatic?"

Gong Kou Shi guessed that his elder brother, who had followed Bu Yue on his tours around the country as a young boy, must have known about it.

"The son of Marquis Xuanping, the fourth son of the Xiang family."

"Oh, your family is not here to guard the county, yet you have the audacity to come to my Great Yan's capital to make trouble."

"Xiang Quan is a very strange person. He is the only one in the Xiang family who has never entered the government. He wanders around and roams the world."

"Then why did he come to kill my people for no reason?"

"Xiang Quan didn't shoot an arrow. If he did, he must be a very important person. Now that he's in Tokyo, you and your father...be careful with him."

Gong Heyu knew that Xiang Quan was known for his madness, and that he could shoot arrows at a hundred paces without leaving anyone alive, so he gave him a warning.

"If he dares to show up, I will make him a wandering ghost in Tokyo, with no one to collect his body."

Gong Kou Shi thought of how many of her secret guards were killed by him, and she said this angrily.

"Shi'er, this person is very good at martial arts, you must not take it lightly."

"So, is he better at Kung Fu or is Master Old Ghost better?"

"Of course it's Mr. Old Ghost. A top-tier master deserves his title."

Gong Heyu recalled the scene in Yinan where he and Jia Xu were knocked away by this old man within two or three moves.

"Is it his Kung Fu that is better or the former proton?"

"Ajue learned all his martial arts from Master Laogui. A great master always produces a great student. However, if Xiang Quanruo competed with Ajue, they would be evenly matched."

"Is it so powerful?"

Gong Kou Shi replied with some surprise that Ning Sijue was the rare martial arts prodigy that Lao Gui had mentioned, so the old man was very willing to pass on his lifelong martial arts skills to him.

It seems that Xiang Quan is quite a character.

Gong Kou Shi looked up at Zhuang Ge'er who was playing the piano in the pavilion, and felt confused again.

"Does the Xiang family member wear a mask?"

Gong Heyu nodded and then asked.

"how do you know?"

"I guess he was the one who kidnapped Sister Huan that day. But why would he also look for Sister Huan? It's strange that even the masked man came to look for her."

"Have you met Hong Qi?"

Gong Heyu knew that the Xiao and Lin families had been looking for Lin Qinghuan for the past three years, especially Hong Qi.

Gong Kou Shi realized that she had let the cat out of the bag, so she quickly swung her legs and began to hide her eyes and spoke stubbornly.

"No, who is Hong Qi?"

"Are you still alive?"

Gong Heyu asked again, glanced at Zhuang Ge'er and then lowered his voice to speak to his sister.

"Hongqi is a very important person to your sister Huan. You can't do anything reckless."

"I know, she's still alive, but I still need her now, so I have to make sure she doesn't die."

Gong Kou Shi thought of those useless people that Hong Qi kicked away and shook her head. When she looked up and saw Gong Heyu still looking at her, she quickly spoke honestly.

After a moment of silence, Gong Heyu spoke again.

"According to the time, the Dasheng wedding procession is about to arrive."

Gong Heyu had already learned in advance that the people he would be escorting were his best friend Ning Sijue and his younger brother Xiao Fan.

At this time, I am very much looking forward to seeing my old friend.

"Just come."

Gong Kou Shi said nonchalantly, as if she were an outsider.

"Royal brother, don't worry. I will treat the princess well. She will be in charge of the palace from now on. As for the rest, I can't do anything about it."

Gong Kou Shi found that her brother was still looking at her with a helpless look, so she said in a bad tone.

"And I'm doing this for my brother's sake. Everyone knows that the Da Sheng government is currently in disarray, with two factions fighting each other. Father is eager to take advantage of the situation and send troops."

"Now that I agree to the marriage, I can at least help your friend catch his breath for a few years."

In recent years, when Ning Sijue secretly came to Tokyo to meet his friends, Gong Kou Shi turned a blind eye.

"Brother Huang, you and Sister Huan..."

Gong Kou Shi looked at the silent Gong He Yu mischievously again, and asked slyly while making sexual gestures with her little hands.

Gong Heyu rolled his eyes at his sister and continued to drink tea with his head down.

"Royal brother, is there anything? What do you plan to confer upon her?"

Gong Kou Shi continued to ask curiously.

The woman who was playing the piano at this time gradually became familiar with the new score, and the sound of the piano became silky and pleasant.

"She is not someone else. If we want to stay together, we can only be together for the rest of our lives."

Gong Heyu looked at the woman in the pavilion and seemed to see the silly girl running towards him happily.

"Brother Yu, let's go pick some bamboo shoots. An Cai said he wants to eat braised lamb with bamboo shoots. Let's go! Sister Yi and the others are waiting!"

The white shadow disappeared in front of Gong Heyu as Gong Kou Shi's voice came.

"That's difficult. We can't depose the queen of a foreign tribe."

Gong Kou Shi shook her head and said.

"Wei Lan is virtuous, kind, and noble yet gentle. She is very suitable to be the queen of Dayan, but she should not be my wife."

Gong Heyu said.

"What about Sister Huan'er?"

Gong Kou Shi asked.

Gong Heyu said nothing, but looked at the woman in the pavilion who was biting her fingers and reading the music score with a smile in his eyes. He thought that his sister Huan could only mess around with him and be willful and unruly. Being a wife was enough for him. After becoming the emperor, wouldn't she be tortured to death?

"Brother Emperor, between the kingdom and the beauty, do you still want to choose the latter?"

Gong Kou Shi saw Gong Heyu's obsession and asked somewhat unhappily.

Gong Heyu didn't say anything and continued looking at the woman in the pavilion.

He couldn't afford to lose this woman a second time, and he had to keep her by his side no matter what the cost.

After a long while, Gong Heyu spoke.

"Shi'er, it would be better if you were really a man."
